How will the growth of AI impact the HR and recruitment sectors?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is well and truly on the rise across many sectors and industries. In fact, there's probably been a point where you've asked yourself: "could my job be taken over by a robot?". For recruiters, this could be an extremely likely possibility. Research into the HR and recruitment industries has found that 70% of HR managers believe the recruitment process would be more effective if it were more data-driven and, because of the technological advances in the industry, an increase in the use of AI would be an obvious solution to this problem. However, many could argue that an increase in AI will lead to jobs being put at risk – but should we simply embrace this change and prepare for new roles to open up within the sector? A human recruiter's manual ability to carry out candidate searches is much more limited than AI's.
